All these kind comments have inspired me to continue this series - I'll be working on the next couple in my WIP thread.

Simply amazing! And the most important thing is (for me) that it's made with GIMP. Amazing!
I added maps 19 & 20 to post 6 on the first page of this thread. These were less successful - I think my walls on map 18 were much better, and I went a bit too heavy on the shadows - that's what happens when I don't get any critiques in the WIP thread. if I was a perfectionist I'd go back and change/improve the maps but I'm not so I won't. I'm not sure how clear it is that map 19 (barracks) is an unroofed structure and map 20 (hall) is roofed. The remaining encounters are all dungeon based ones, so they are much easier to do.

Great work. Your maps are saving me so much time in my limited schedule and making amazing use of our new projector setup. Thanks and rep for you!
Just awesome !! I really enjoy encounter maps and can "see" the story in all of these. Repped !!

Thanks guys - I am continuing these maps in my Work In Progress thread here http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ncounter-Maps; if you have the time I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice on the maps as I create them. I'll eventually post them up in this thread when they are done, of course.
Ithildin asked about printing options earlier (page 1). An inexpensive way I've found to print poster sized items like Jack Tanner's stuff is to take it to a university copy center. Since they're not usually a for-profit operation, and supported by the larger infrastructure of the uni, their prices are much more manageable.
I want to add to Jack: Your work is gorgeous - and to read that you started with it in December is amazing and inspiring. I'm gobsmacked.
Absolutely stunning! I have an urge to fondle my d20's, all of a sudden ^^
I added the next few maps to Post 3 - nearly done now!
Added Encounter 29 - only three left! I can't believe I'm actually going to end up finishing these. I can't wait.
